KADOKA MUNI sits in Kadoka, South Dakota. The field elevation is 2,466 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 2,600 ft. This is an unattended field with no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 12/30 has turf and aggregate in the center portion. The published remarks also call out varmints on runway 12/30. A careful walk or low pass makes sense before landing. Runway 12, runway 22, runway 30 and runway 04 are marked with white and black tipped marker cones. Low intensity runway lights on 12/30 are activated by radio on 122.8.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. For after-hours help, the published remarks list local police or the county sheriff. Clearance delivery is through Denver ARTCC. This is a high-elevation South Dakota strip with turf surfaces, so performance and surface condition deserve attention. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any updates on pattern, lighting, or local procedures.
